FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention encompasses compounds and methods for inhibiting the adhesin protein FimH and treating and preventing urinary tract infections and inflammatory bowel disease (e.g. Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis).

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Urinary tract infection (UTI) caused by uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is one of the most common infectious diseases in women. The morbidity and economic impact are enormous, with over $2.5 billion spent annually on treatment. Further, recurrent infections are a significant problem despite appropriate antibiotic therapy of the index case. The high rates of recurrence, and the large numbers of women that end up in urology clinics due to their chronic recurrent UTIs highlights the need for a better understanding of the pathogenic mechanisms involved in this disease and the development of new and better therapies.

Gram-negative bacteria are the causative agents of a wide variety of acute and chronic infectious diseases. Many of these infections are initiated by a critical interaction between host ligands (frequently polysaccharide moieties) and bacterial adhesins (frequently expressed at the distal tip of polymeric pilus fibers assembled by the chaperone/usher pathway). The mannose binding FimH adhesin of type 1 pili is critical for the colonization and invasion into the bladder epithelium. After invasion, UPEC are able to rapidly multiply inside superficial umbrella cells of the bladder forming biofilm-like intracellular bacterial communities (IBCs). Upon maturation, bacteria disperse from the IBC, spread to neighboring cells, and form next generation IBCs. This is the mechanism by which UPEC rapidly amplify in numbers in the urinary tract and cause disease.

The X-ray crystal structure of FimH bound to mannose showed that mannose is bound in a negatively charged pocket on FimH. The mannose binding site is highly conserved as it is invariant in 300 fimH genes sequenced from clinical UPEC strains. Thus, FimH is the critical node of the entire UPEC pathogenic cascade.

Recurrence is a serious problem for many women. Women who present with an initial episode of acute UTI have a 25-44% chance of developing a second and a 3% chance of experiencing three episodes within six months of the initial UTI. Recurrence occurs despite appropriate antibiotic treatment and clearance of the initial infection from the urine. A large percentage of recurrent UTI are caused by the same strain of bacteria as the initial infection. One study followed 58 women and found that 68% of recurrences were caused by the same initial index strain of UPEC as determined by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis. In a separate study, 50% of recurrent strains isolated from female college students appeared genotypically identical to the bacterial strain corresponding to the initial UTI. Another long-term prospective study demonstrated that the same strain of UPEC can cause a recurrent UTI up to 3 years later. The high frequency of same-strain recurrences supports the notion that a UPEC reservoir can exist in the affected individual. The inventors have shown that a quiescent intracellular reservoir (QIR) can form in the bladder tissue itself after acute infection and persist even after antibiotic therapy and urine cultures become sterile. Thus, reactivation of bacteria in QIRs may also be a contributing factor in recurrent UTIs.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) mainly consists of two disorders, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease (CD), with a combined prevalence of ˜150-200 cases per 100,000 in Western countries. The abnormal inflammatory response observed in IBD requires interplay between host genetic factors and the intestinal microbiota. Adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC) have previously been shown to induce gut inflammation in patients with Crohn's disease (CD). Mannosides have been shown to prevent AIEC attachment to the gut by blocking the FimH bacterial adhesin. Given the key role of AIEC in the chronic intestinal inflammation of CD patients, these results suggest a potential anti-adhesive treatment with the FimH inhibitors developed.

Therefore, there is a need for effective treatments that can cure urinary tract infections and prevent the formation of quiescent intracellular reservoir that are the source of so many recurrent infections. As well as effective treatments that can cure, prevent or reduce symptoms associated with Crohn's disease.

IV. Methods of the Invention

Compounds of the invention may be used in methods of treating a bacterial infection and methods of reducing resistance to a bactericidal compound in a bacterium.

(a) Methods of Treating a Bacterial Infection

One embodiment of the invention encompasses a method for treating bacterial infections. Or, more specifically, the invention encompasses a method for treating a urinary tract infection. As used herein, “treating” refers to preventing infection in a subject not currently infected, and reducing or eliminating infection in a subject that is currently infected. As such, the invention also encompasses a method for preventing UTI. Generally, such a method comprises administering a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of the invention to a subject. As used herein, “subject” includes any mammal prone to urinary tract infections by E. coli. In one embodiment, a subject is prone to recurring UTIs. In some embodiments, a subject may not have clinical symptoms of a UTI. In such embodiments, the subject may have a latent infection. In other embodiments, a subject may have clinical symptoms of a UTI.

In some embodiments, a compound of the invention may be administered to a subject in combination with a bactericidal compound as described in Section II above. When administered in a combination, a compound of the invention may be administered before, simultaneously, or after administration of a bactericidal compound. When administered before or after a bactericidal compound, the time between administration of a compound of the invention and a bactericidal compound may be about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, or 60 min. In another embodiment, the time between administration of a compound of the invention and a bactericidal compound may be about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, or 72 hours.

A compound or pharmaceutical composition of the invention may be administered by several different means that will deliver a therapeutically effective dose. Such compositions may be administered orally, parenterally, by inhalation spray, rectally, intradermally, intracisternally, intraperitoneally, transdermally, bucally, as an oral or nasal spray, topically (i.e. powders, ointments or drops), or via a urinary cathetar in dosage unit formulations containing conventional nontoxic pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, adjuvants, and vehicles as desired. Topical administration may also involve the use of transdermal administration such as transdermal patches or iontophoresis devices. The term parenteral as used herein includes subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, or intrasternal injection, or infusion techniques. In an exemplary embodiment, the pharmaceutical composition will be administered in an oral dosage form. Formulation of drugs is discussed in, for example, Hoover, John E., Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mack Publishing Co., Easton, Pa. (1975), and Liberman, H. A. and Lachman, L., Eds., Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms, Marcel Decker, New York, N.Y. (1980).

The amount of a compound of the invention that constitutes an “effective amount” can and will vary. The amount will depend upon a variety of factors, including whether the administration is in single or multiple doses, and individual subject parameters including age, physical condition, size, and weight. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that dosages may also be determined with guidance from Goodman & Goldman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, Ninth Edition (1996), Appendix II, pp. 1707-1711 and from Goodman & Goldman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, Tenth Edition (2001), Appendix II, pp. 475-493.

In order to selectively control the release of an inhibitor to a particular region of the gastrointestinal tract for release, the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may be manufactured into one or several dosage forms for the controlled, sustained or timed release of one or more of the ingredients. In this context, typically one or more of the ingredients forming the pharmaceutical composition is microencapsulated or dry coated prior to being formulated into one of the above forms. By varying the amount and type of coating and its thickness, the timing and location of release of a given ingredient or several ingredients (in either the same dosage form, such as a multi-layered capsule, or different dosage forms) may be varied.

In an exemplary embodiment, the coating may be an enteric coating. The enteric coating generally will provide for controlled release of the ingredient, such that drug release can be accomplished at some generally predictable location in the lower intestinal tract below the point at which drug release would occur without the enteric coating. In certain embodiments, multiple enteric coatings may be utilized. Multiple enteric coatings, in certain embodiments, may be selected to release the ingredient or combination of ingredients at various regions in the lower gastrointestinal tract and at various times.

As will be appreciated by a skilled artisan, the encapsulation or coating method can and will vary depending upon the ingredients used to form the pharmaceutical composition and coating, and the desired physical characteristics of the microcapsules themselves. Additionally, more than one encapsulation method may be employed so as to create a multi-layered microcapsule, or the same encapsulation method may be employed sequentially so as to create a multi-layered microcapsule. Suitable methods of microencapsulation may include spray drying, spinning disk encapsulation (also known as rotational suspension separation encapsulation), supercritical fluid encapsulation, air suspension microencapsulation, fluidized bed encapsulation, spray cooling/chilling (including matrix encapsulation), extrusion encapsulation, centrifugal extrusion, coacervation, alginate beads, liposome encapsulation, inclusion encapsulation, colloidosome encapsulation, sol-gel microencapsulation, and other methods of microencapsulation known in the art. Detailed information concerning materials, equipment and processes for preparing coated dosage forms may be found in Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms: Tablets, eds. Lieberman et al. (New York: Marcel Dekker, Inc., 1989), and in Ansel et al., Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms and Drug Delivery Systems, 6th Ed. (Media, Pa.: Williams & Wilkins, 1995).

A bacterium may be contacted with a compound of the invention in vivo, in vitro, in situ, or ex vivo. In some embodiments, a bacterium may be directly contacted with the compound of the invention. In other embodiments, an intracellular bacterium may be contacted with a compound of the invention. Suitable cells comprising one or more bacteria may be grown, sub-cultured, stored and manipulated using standard techniques known to individuals skilled in the art. Cell culture and microbiological techniques for growing, culturing, storing, and manipulating cells comprising one or more bacteria are commonly known in the art.

(b) Methods of Reducing Bactericidal Resistance

Another method of the invention comprises reducing the resistance of a bacterium to a bactericidal compound. Such a method comprises contacting a bacterium resistant to a bactericidal compound with a compound of the invention. For instance, a subject infected with a bacterium resistant to a bactericidal compound may be administered a compound of the invention, as described in Section IV(a) above. In an exemplary embodiment, a method comprises contacting a bacterium resistant to an antibiotic with a compound of the invention. In a further exemplary embodiment, a method comprises contacting a bacterium resistant to TMP or SMZ with a compound of the invention.

Methods of measuring resistance of a bacterium to an antibiotic are known in the art. For more details, see the examples.

(c) Methods of Treating Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections

In a further embodiment, a method of the invention encompasses a method for treating catheter-associated urinary tract infections. As used herein, “treating” refers to preventing infection in a subject not currently infected, and reducing or eliminating infection in a subject that is currently infected. Generally, such a method comprises administering a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of the invention to a subject. For this embodiment, “subject” refers to any mammal with an indwelling urinary catheter. In one embodiment, a subject with a urinary catheter is prone to recurring UTIs. In some embodiments, a subject with a urinary catheter may not have clinical symptoms of a UTI. In such embodiments, the subject may have a latent infection. In other embodiments, a subject with a urinary catheter may have clinical symptoms of a UTI.

In some embodiments, a compound of the invention may be administered to a subject in combination with a bactericidal compound as described in Section II and Section IV(a) above.

(d) Methods of Treating Inflammatory Bowel Disease

In a further embodiment, a method of the invention encompasses a method for treating inflammatory bowel disease. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) involves chronic inflammation of all or part of the digestive tract. IBD may include ulcerative colitits, Crohn's disease, collagenous colitis, lymphocytic colitis, ischaemic colitis, diversion colitis, Behcet's disease and indeterminate colitis. As used herein, “treating” refers to reducing symptoms associated with inflammatory bowel disease. Alternatively, a method of the invention encompasses a method for reducing symptoms associated with inflammatory bowel disease. Symptoms may include ulcers, reduced appetite, rectal bleeding, rectal pain, a feeling of urgency or frequent, small bowel movements, bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramps and pain, inability to move the bowels in spite of the urge to do so (tenesmus), pain on the left side, unintended weight loss, fatigue, significant weight loss, profuse diarrhea, dehydration, shock, fever, fatigue, arthritis, eye inflammation, skin disorders, and inflammation of the liver or bile ducts.

Introduction to Examples: General Synthesis, Purification, and Analytical Chemistry Procedures.

Certain compounds may exist as mixtures of isomers in equilibrium as described for isoquinolone isomer A in the scheme below which is in equilibrium with the hydroxyquinoline isomer B:

Therefore, it is understood that compounds containing isoquinolones may exist in the hydroxyisoquinoline form and the synthesis of analogs thereof may lead to the production of either one isomer A1 or B1 exclusively or a mixture. It is not always possible to confirm the identity of each individual isomer (e.g. A1 or B1). Thus, all possible isomers are claimed as the final product in examples which contain the isoquinolone ring.

Starting materials, reagents, and solvents were purchased from commercial vendors unless otherwise noted. In general anhydrous solvents are used for carrying out all reactions. ¹H NMR spectra were measured on a Varian 400 MHz NMR instrument equipped with an auto sampler. The chemical shifts were reported as δ ppm relative to TMS using residual solvent peak as the reference unless otherwise noted. The following abbreviations were used to express the peak multiplicities: s=singlet; d=doublet; t=triplet; q=quartet; m=multiplet; br=broad. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was carried out on GILSON GX-281 using Waters C18 5 μM, 4.6*50 mm and Waters Prep C18 5 μM, 19*150 mm reverse phase columns, eluted with a gradient system of 5:95 to 95:5 acetonitrile:water with a buffer consisting of 0.05-0.1% TFA. Mass spectroscopy (MS) was performed on HPLC/MSD using a gradient system of 5:95 to 95:5 acetonitrile:water with a buffer consisting of 0.05-0.1% TFA on a C18 or C8 reversed phased column and electrospray ionization (ESI) for detection. All reactions were monitored by thin layer chromatography (TLC) carried out on Merck silica gel plates (0.25 mm thick, 60F254), visualized by using UV (254 nm) or dyes such as KMnO₄, p-Anisaldehyde and CAM (Hannesian's Stain). Silica gel chromatography was carried out on a Teledyne ISCO CombiFlash purification system using pre-packed silica gel columns (12 g˜330 g sizes). All compounds used for biological assays are greater than 95% purity based on NMR and HPLC by absorbance at 220 nm and 254 nm wavelengths.

Example 23. Biological and In Vivo Activity of Compounds of Examples 1-22

The inventors set out to develop and optimize orally active mannoside small-molecule antagonists of FimH bacterial adhesion for treatment and prevention of recurring urinary tract infection (UTI). The endpoint desired to determine orally active compounds was drug unchanged in the urine and/or bladder. First, the inventors rationally designed biaryl mannosides with potency and desirable properties. To do this, structure activity relationships (SAR) of substituents was determined. Ortho substitution on the biaryl ring was evaluated for FimH activity. Solubility, Log D and pKa was improved with heterocycles. It was further discovered that replacements to the glycosidic bond could improve metabolic stability and bioavailability. Alternate linkers of mannose to the biaryl ring were identified. N-, S- and C-mannosides were synthesized. Murine animal models of both acute and chronic UTI were used to further evaluate compound efficacy.

The inventors have developed compounds with a 2000-fold increase in cellular potency by X-ray structure-based design. Mannosides show good oral compound exposure for 6 h at 100 mg/kg dose and prophylactically prevent IBC formation of UTI89 bacteria in vivo. Some metabolism/hydrolysis products (phenol) detected in the urine. Importantly, mannosides reverse antibiotic TMP-SMZ resistant strains of UTI in vivo. Ongoing optimization for decreased Cl, increase t_(1/2), V_(dss) (tissue exposure), and improved bioavailability by compound PK screeining in plasma and urine. Also, ongoing efficacy model development for demonstrating antibacterial effects post-infection as monotherapy and in combination with antibiotics. Further, the inventors are optimizing prodrugs and non-sugar mannoside mimetics.

The efficacy of in vivo mannoside treatment was evaluated after orally dosing animals with 50 mg/kg of mannosides ZFH-4269 (FIG. 1A), ZFH-5254 (FIG. 1B) and ZFH-5240 (FIG. 1C) or DMSO or PBS 30 min prior to infecting with UTI89. At 6 hours post-infection (hpi) the bladders were removed and total bacterial CFUs were quantitated. In all three of the mannoside-treated cohorts, there was a drop in bacterial counts demonstrating the efficacy of these mannosides in reducing overall colonization of the bladder (FIG. 1D). Next, analogs of 254 were evaluated in the same mouse model of urinary tract infection. Animals were orally dosed with 25 mg/kg of mannosides ZFH-4269 (FIG. 2A), 1CJ68 (FIG. 2B) and 1CJ70 (FIG. 2C) in 10% cyclodextrin or 10% cyclodextrin 30 min prior to infecting with UTI89. In the ZFH269-treated cohort, there was a drop in bacterial counts demonstrating the efficacy of this mannoside in reducing overall colonization of the bladder (FIG. 2D).

Mannoside compounds FIM-4269, FIM-5240, FIM-5254, FIM-1CJ82 and FIM-1CJ66 (FIG. 3) were evaluated for pharmacokinetics in the rat. Mannosides were dose IV at 3 mg/kg and PO at 10 mg/kg. Urine and plasma were collected at 15 min, 30 min, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours and 8 hours. Following IV dosing, the mean plasma concentration of FIM-5240 was the highest relative to the other 4 mannosides and remained above the limit of detection to 2.5 hours (FIG. 4). Following PO dosing, again FIM-5240 exhibited the best pharmacokinetics relative to the other mannosides and feel below the limit of dection at 2 hours post-treatment (FIG. 5).

Based on these results, oral PK studies were performed in mice. Compounds ZFH-4269 (FIG. 6A), ZFH-5254 (FIG. 6B), ZFH5240 (FIG. 6C), and a Prodrug were dosed at 50 mg/kg and plasma and urine samples were taken at 1, 3, 6 and 8 hours after dosing. As demonstrated in FIG. 6D, all compounds were detectable in the urine out to 8 hours post-treatment. It was found that compounds 240 and the prodrug consistently maintained a high level of concentration in the urine, which is well above the predicted minimum effective concentration within a 6-hour period. Taken together, the high oral bioavailability and in vivo efficacy observed in animal studies support mannosides as promising therapeutic candidates for UTI treatment/prevention.

The efficacy of in vivo mannoside treatment was evaluated after orally dosing animals with 25 mg/kg of mannosides ZFH269, Prodrug FIM-4269, ZFH-5254, and ZFH-5240 in 10% cyclodextrin or 10% cyclodextrin 30 min prior to infecting with UTI89. At 6 hours post-infection (hpi) the bladders were removed and total bacterial CFUs were quantitated. In all of the mannoside-treated cohorts, there was a drop in bacterial counts demonstrating the efficacy of these mannosides in reducing overall colonization of the bladder (FIG. 7A). Importantly, the prodrug of ZFH269 exhibited significantly better activity than ZFH269. Next, several different prodrugs were evaluated in the same mouse model of urinary tract infection. Animals were orally dosed with 25 mg/kg of mannosides ZFH-4269, prodrug FIM-1233 (FIG. 8B), prodrug FIM-6123 (FIG. 8C) and prodrug 269 in 10% cyclodextrin or 10% cyclodextrin 30 min prior to infecting with UTI89. In all of the mannoside-treated cohorts, there was a drop in bacterial counts demonstrating the efficacy of these mannosides in reducing overall colonization of the bladder (FIG. 7B).

Example 24. Uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) Pathogenesis in the Urinary Tract

Clinically, it has been presumed that UPEC infection consists of a relatively simple extracellular colonization of the luminal surface after inoculation of fecal flora into the bladder via the urethra. In contrast, using a murine model of UPEC infection of the UT, the inventors have detailed an unexpectedly complex UPEC pathogenesis cycle that involves both intracellular and extracellular niches. Using genetic, biochemical and cell biological approaches together with a variety of imaging techniques including transmission, quick freeze-deep etch and scanning electron microscopy, as well as confocal and time lapse video microscopy, the inventors discovered that UPEC invade bladder facet cells via a FimH-dependent mechanism (see below). After invasion, cytoplasmic intracellular bacterial communities (IBCs) are formed. Rapid replication of the initial invading bacteria results in the formation of an early IBC of loosely-packed rod-shaped bacteria. The bacteria continue to replicate and progress to form a large densely packed mid-stage IBC of morphologically coccoid bacteria, with biofilm-like characteristics including positive periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining and differential gene expression throughout the community. After the IBC matures, bacteria detach from the biomass, often become filamentous, and spread to neighboring cells forming new generation IBCs. Thus, the IBC pathway facilitates massive expansion of the invading bacteria in a niche protected from host defenses. Translational studies have shown that the majority of UPEC isolates form IBCs when introduced into the murine bladder and that IBCs and filamentous bacteria occur in the urine of human UTI patients. Population dynamic studies conducted by the inventors using ex vivo gentamicin protection assays demonstrated that ˜10⁴ UPEC of an initial 10⁷ inoculum invaded the bladder tissue within 15 minutes after infection and that one percent of the invaded bacteria went on to form IBCs, resulting in an average of 100 IBCs per infected mouse bladder. If this is extrapolated to the human situation, innate defenses in the bladder most likely prevent the majority of bacterial inoculation events into the bladder from leading to disease. However, the ramifications of the IBC cascade are striking. Invasion of a single infecting bacterium can lead to rapid expansion of the infection via IBC formation, replicating within hours to 10⁴ bacteria and even higher numbers followed by dispersal of the bacteria from the biomass and spreading to neighboring cells to reinitiate the IBC cascade. This process allows the bacteria to gain a critical foothold. Bacterial descendents of the acute IBC cascade have been shown using a murine model, to be able to form a quiescent intracellular reservoir (QIR) that can persist, protected from antibiotics and seemingly undetected by the host immune system even after the acute infection is resolved and bacteria are no longer detectable in the urine. Bacteria in the QIR can later seed a recurrent infection, manifested by IBC formation, bacteruria and inflammation.

Example 25. FimH as a Therapeutic Target

There are several key implications from understanding UPEC pathogenesis. Mannosides and pilicides that block FimH function will prevent bacterial adherence and invasion and thus prevent bacterial amplification in the IBC and subsequent spreading and repeated rounds of amplification via new generation IBCs. These compounds will have potent therapeutic activity by preventing bacterial expansion which may also have the consequence of eliminating or significantly reducing the QIR thus reducing predisposition to recurrent infection.

Type 1 Pili/FimH are Critical for UPEC Pathogenesis in the UT.

Type 1 pili are essential cystitis virulence determinants. Using scanning and high-resolution EM and the mouse cystitis model developed by the inventors, it was shown that adhesive type 1 piliated bacteria are able to bind and invade host superficial umbrella cells, while UPEC lacking type 1 pili are not. Colonization and invasion of the bladder epithelium is dependent on the FimH adhesion located at the distal end of the pilus that binds mannose residues on bladder epithelial cells. High-resolution freeze-dry/deep-etch EM revealed that FimH interacts directly with receptors on the luminal surface of the bladder (FIG. 11). Standard gentamicin protection assays of infected tissue culture cells and ex vivo gentamicin treatment of infected bladders demonstrated that fimH⁺ type 1 piliated clinical cystitis isolates, but not fimH⁻ mutants, could invade bladder epithelial cells. Using immunohistochemistry and Pfim-gfp transcriptional fusions it was demonstrated that type 1 pili are expressed within IBCs. Using high-resolution EM, pilus-like fibers radiating from bacteria and interacting with matrix material within the intracellular IBC were also visualized. These results combined with work showing that type 1 pili are required for biofilm formation in in vitro systems led to the hypothesis that type 1 pili promote IBC formation and/or maintenance. Therefore, an anhydrotetracycline (AHT) inducible fim strain was constructed which can be “pre-piliate” UTI89 in vitro by growth in AHT before infecting mouse bladders, allowing the initial invasion event to normally. However, once inoculated into the mouse, AHT is no longer present, fim transcription ceases and piliation is diluted upon each bacterial division. Using this system, the earliest events of colonization and invasion were identical between the wild type and conditional strain. However, the inability of the conditional strain to produce type 1 pili intracellularly abolished its ability to form IBCs, as shown by confocal microscopy, and thus dramatically attenuated virulence as determined by CFUs at later time points. These results strongly suggest that type 1 pili are required for the survival and proliferation of UPEC within superficial facet cells. Additionally, this conditional mutant is significantly impaired in its ability to form QIRs, arguing that the bacteria in QIRs are descendents and thus dependent on the acute IBC cascade.

Structural Studies of FimH and its Ligand.

Adhesive type 1 pili are prototypic structures of a family of adhesive fibers produced by diverse Gram-negative bacteria via the chaperone/usher assembly pathway. Using biochemistry, mutational studies, nuclear magnetic resonance, and x-ray crystallography, the molecular basis of pili assembled by the chaperone/usher pathway in gram-negative bacteria, including type 1 pili of UPEC, were delineated (FIG. 12) The three dimensional structure of FimH bound to its mannose receptor was solved in order to gain a molecular snapshot of a critical initial event in UTI pathogenesis.

FimH is a two domain protein, with a receptor binding domain linked to a typical pilin domain that joins the adhesin to the pilus fiber. The structure of the complex of the FimC chaperone bound to FimH (which was bound to D-mannopyranoside) was determined to 2.8 Å resolution. The mannose binding site of FimH is a deep negatively charged pocket at the tip of its receptor-binding domain. The FimH pocket engages in extensive hydrogen bonding to mannose (FIG. 14), which are abundant in the oligosaccharide moieties of uroplakins that coat the lumenal surface of the bladder epithelium. A hydrophobic ridge surrounds the mannose binding pocket in a manner that may facilitate polar interactions within the FimH pocket. Mutational studies revealed that each residue is critical in mannose binding and pathogenesis, emphasizing why the pocket is invariant among UPEC isolates.

Development of Anti-Adhesives.

The FimH-mannose interaction was further investigated in an effort to develop potential ligand-based antagonists of UTIs. The chitobiose unit on oligomannose was found to bridge various mannose derivatives to the asparagine in the Asn-X-Ser/Thr motif of FimH resulting in higher affinity binding. Crystallization of FimH in complex with oligomannose-3 revealed the mechanism of this higher affinity binding. The non-reducing Man4 anchors into the mannose-binding pocket while the GlcNAc folds over Thr51 allowing specific interactions with a hydrophobic tyrosine gate. Heptyl mannoside mimics the GlcNAc tail of oligomannose-3 and extends it further to increase interactions outside the binding pocket resulting in high affinity binding (Kd=5 nM). Based on the high affinity of heptyl mannose for FimH, the ability of heptyl mannose to reduce bacterial infection in our mouse model of UTI was tested. First, biofilm formation as a surrogate for IBCs formed in the bladder was evaluated. Heptyl mannose at 1 mM inhibited UPEC biofilm formation in vitro, suggesting that the mannose binding properties of the FimH adhesin is required for biofilm formation. Thus, UPEC strain UTI89 was incubated with heptyl mannose prior to inoculation into the bladders of mice. This resulted in a significant attenuation of virulence at 6 hours post-infection at 5 mM heptyl mannose. The ability of these compounds to significantly attenuate virulence establishes mannosides as a potential treatment for UTI. Therefore, more potent mannosides that mimic the natural receptor for FimH but with increased affinity and avidity in order to ultimately block bacterial colonization, invasion, IBC formation and disease were developed as described below.

Example 26. Mannosides Inhibit the Invasion of UPEC into the Bladder Tissue and Potentiate the Efficacy of TMP-SMZ

The first-line treatment of choice for UTI has traditionally been a 3-day course of TMP-SMZ. Women suffering from chronic/recurrent UTIs are often given TMP-SMZ prophylactically to prevent recurrence. However, resistance to this TMP-SMZ regimen is rapidly expanding. It was hypothesized that by preventing bacterial invasion into the bladder tissue, a FimH inhibitor may result in anti-virulence synergism with TMP-SMZ and may curtail or circumvent the problem of TMP-SMZ resistance. This theory was evaluated in a preclinical animal model where mice given TMP-SMZ for 3 days were infected with either UTI89 or the TMP-SMZ^(R) strain, PBC-1. Mice were IP treated with 6 30 min prior to inoculation with bacteria and compared to a control group of untreated animals. After inoculation with UTI89 or PBC-1, bacterial CFUs were quantified at 6 hpi. As expected, treatment with TMP-SMZ alone resulted in a significant drop in bacterial load in the UTI89-infected mice but had no effect on PBC-1, since it is resistant to TMP-SMZ. Upon treatment with 6 alone there was a significant drop in bacterial load of both strains in the bladder. In the dual treatment group there was also a significant drop in bacterial CFUs compared to mannoside alone or TMP-SMZ alone for both strains which was most pronounced for PBC-1 (FIG. 18). It was determined that the presence of mannoside had no effect on growth or killing efficiency of either strain during growth in vitro in the presence or absence of TMP-SMZ. Therefore, the observation that in combination with 6, the TMP-SMZ^(R) strain PBC-1 succumbed to antibiotic treatment suggested that the mannoside potentiates the efficacy of TMP-SMZ by a unique mechanism. Based on growth curves in TMP-SMZ, PBC-1 was calculated to have a Minimum Inhibition Concentration (MIC) of 256 and 1280 μg/ml for TMP and SMZ, respectively and UTI89 was calculated to have an MIC of 0.05 μg/ml TMP and 0.25 μg/ml SMZ. The presence of mannoside had no effect on growth or killing efficiency of either strain. It is well established that TMP concentrates in the urine and this serendipitous feature is a major reason TMP-SMZ has been the preferred antibiotic for UTI over the last several decades. Using quantitative HPLC-MS, the concentration of TMP-SMZ was measured in the urine of mice after 3 days of treatment with 54 μg/ml and 270 μg/ml TMP and SMZ, respectively. TMP concentrations were determined to be 9.95+/−4.36 mg/ml and SMZ at 67.17+/−32.51 μg/ml. These results indicate that by preventing bacterial invasion, 6 compartmentalizes the microbes to the bladder lumen thus exposing them to TMP-SMZ concentrations above the MIC of PBC-1, resulting in augmentation of bacterial cell killing. Presumably TMP-SMZ concentrations reach tissue concentrations above the MIC needed for UTI89 killing but fail to reach tissue levels needed for killing PBC-1. These results clearly highlight the importance of the intracellular pathway in bacterial persistence. In addition to escaping the immune system in their intracellular niche, bacteria are also able to evade exposure to antibiotics as highlighted by the clinically TMP-SMZ resistant strain. In summary, mannosides could benefit those women on suppressive antibiotic therapy by inhibiting the invasion of UPEC into the bladder tissue and potentiating the efficacy of TMP-SMZ creating a cost-effective treatment, which is predicted to lower the rate of treatment failures.

Example 27. Mannoside Treatment Reduces IBC Formation in CAUTI

Having established that FimH is required for UPEC virulence in implanted bladders, we investigated this as a potential therapeutic target for CAUTI using small molecules inhibitors designed to interfere with FimH binding to mannosylated residues. This family of small molecules, called mannosides, has recently been shown to prevent acute and chronic UPEC infections and potentiated the effectiveness of antibiotics in combinatorial treatment.

To investigate the potential therapeutic effects of mannosides on CAUTI, we first assessed the inhibitory effects of methyl-α-D-mannopyranoside (methyl mannose), on UTI89 biofilm formation in urine under flow. Similar to the deletion of fimH, UTI89 biofilms grown in presence of 1% methyl mannose had significantly reduced biomass (p=0.0022) and biofilm-adherent cells (p=0.0012), compared to untreated controls. Since methyl mannose is a FimH antagonist, these data confirm the critical role of type 1 pili to biofilm formation in urine as was previously described for biofilms formed in LB media.

The effects of mannoside treatment were then assessed in vivo by using IBC formation as well as implant and urinary tract colonization as benchmarks of disease progression. Mice were treated intraperitoneally (i.p.) with saline or 5 mg/kg of mannoside 6, which is more potent than methyl mannose in vitro and in vivo, in PBS 30 min prior to urinary implantation. Catheter implantation was immediately followed by transurethral inoculation of UTI89. IBC formation and bacterial colonization were assayed by LacZ staining and CFU enumeration of implants, bladders, and kidneys at 6 hpi and 24 hpi, respectively. Mannoside treatment further reduced IBC formation (p=0.0051) and bladder colonization (p=0.0114) in implanted animals at 6 hpi, suggesting that this treatment prevents intracellular infection. While eliminated from their intracellular niche, data further indicated that UPEC were able to persist in the extracellular milieu where they can colonize the surface of the implants to relatively similar levels as saline-treated animals (p=0.0547). No statistical difference was observed in kidney colonization in the presence or absence of mannosides. By 24 hpi, a time point at which the mannosides have been eliminated from the bladder, similar bacterial loads were recovered from implants, bladders, and kidneys in implanted animals in the presence or absence of mannoside treatment.

Example 28. Mannoside Treatment Increases the Efficiency of TMP-SMZ in Preventing UPEC Colonization

In order to examine whether mannosides could prevent establishment of CAUTI when used in combination with antibiotics, animals were treated with 54 and 270 μg/ml of TMP-SMZ, respectively, in their drinking water for three days and then treated with saline or mannoside (5 mg/kg) i.p. 30 min prior to implantation and bacterial inoculation. At 6 hpi, UPEC colonized the implants and bladders at significantly lower levels in animals that only received antibiotics compared to those who received water or were only administered mannoside. Interestingly, mannoside treatment in addition to TMP-SMZ further decreased UPEC colonization of implants, bladders, and kidneys compared to treatment with antibiotic alone (p<0.0005 in all cases). Furthermore, treatment with mannosides alone did not reduce bacterial titers from a 24 h old UPEC infection and in combination with TMP-SMZ showed no additive effects on established UPEC CAUTI 24 hpi (data not shown). Together, these findings indicate that virulence-targeted therapies in combination with established antibiotic treatment can help prevent or delay the onset of CAUTI and that further research is warranted for enhancing mannosides potential as therapeutics against CAUTIs.

Methods for the Examples

Biofilm Assay.

UTI89 was grown in LB broth in wells of PVC microtiter plates at 23° C. in the presence of individual mannosides at varying concentrations. After 48 h of growth, wells were rinsed with water and stained with crystal violet for quantification as described. For biofilm disruption activity in PVC plates, UTI89 was grown in LB broth in wells of PVC microtiter plates at 23° C. After 24 h of growth, mannoside was added and biofilms were grown for an additional 16 h. Wells were then rinsed, stained with crystal violet and quantified. For biofilm disruption activity on PVC coverslips, UTI89 was grown in LB broth in 50 mL conicals containing PBC coverslips at 23° C. After 24 h of growth, 0.3 μM ZFH-2056 was added and biofilm was grown for an additional 16 h. Coverslips were then rinsed, fixed with 2% paraformaldehyde (v/v), stained with SYTO9 (1:1000 in PBS; Molecular Probes) and observed with a Zeiss LSM410 confocal laser scanning microscope under a 63× objective.

Animal Infections.

Bacteria were grown under type 1 pili-inducing conditions (2×24 h at 37° C. statically in LB). The bacteria were harvested and resuspended to an OD₆₀₀ of 0.5 in PBS. Eight-week-old C3H/HeN (Harlan) female mice were anesthetized by inhalation of isoflurane and infected via transurethral catheterization with 50 pl of the bacterial suspension, resulting in 1-2×10⁷ inoculum. At 6 hpi, mice were sacrificed by cervical dislocation under anesthesia and the bladders were immediately harvested and processed as described below. All animal studies using mice were approved by the Animal Studies Committee of Washington University (Animal Protocol Number 20100002).

Pharamacokinetic Analysis.

For intraperitoneal dosing, 50 μl of a 2 mg/ml (5 mg/kg) or 4 mg/ml (10 mg/kg) solution of ZFH-2056 in PBS was injected into the peritoneal cavity of the mouse. For oral dosing, 100 μl of a 20 mg/ml (100 mg/kg) solution of ZFH-2056 in 8% DMSO was inoculated with a gavage needle into the mouse stomach. Urine was collected at 30 min, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 h post-treatment. An equal volume of 10 μM internal standard (ZFH-2050) was added to the urine. Mannosides were extracted from the urine by loading on C18 columns (100 mg, Waters), washing with 30% methanol, and eluting with 60% methanol. Vacuum-concentrated eluates were analyzed using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry system 30 with a lower heated capillary temperature of 190° C. and a gradient as follows: Solvent B (80% acetonitrile in 0.1% formic acid) was held constant at 5% for 5 minutes, increased to 44% B by 45 minutes, and then to a 95% B by 65 minutes. SRM mode quantification was performed with collision gas energy of 30% for the following MS/MS transitions (precursor m/z/product m/z): compound ZFH-2056, 447/285; compound ZFH-2050, 390/228. Absolute quantification was achieved by comparison to a calibration curve.

Bladder Tissue Bacterial Titer Determination.

Mannoside ZFH-2056 was administered either IP (5 mg/kg) or orally (100 mg/kg) 30 min prior to inoculation with UTI89. To enumerate the bacteria present, mice were sacrificed at 6 hpi and bladders were aseptically removed and homogenized in 1 ml PBS, serially diluted and plated onto LB agar plates. CFU was enumerated after 16 h of growth at 37° C.

Gentamicin Protection Assay.

To enumerate bacteria present in the intracellular versus extracellular compartments, bladders were aseptically harvested at 6 hpi. The bladders were then bisected twice and washed three times in 500 μl of PBS each. The wash fractions were pooled, lightly spun at 500 rpm for 5 min to pellet exfoliated bladder cells, serially diluted, and plated onto LB agar to obtain the luminal fraction. The bladders were treated with 100 μg of gentamicin/ml for 90 min at 37° C. After treatment, the bladders were washed twice with PBS to eliminate residual gentamicin, homogenized in 1 ml of PBS, serially diluted, and plated onto LB agar to enumberate the CFUs in the intracellular fraction.

Antibiotic Treatment.

Mice were given TMP-SMZ in the drinking water at a concentration of 54 μg/ml and 270 μg/ml, respectively. Water was changed daily for 3 days prior to inoculation with UTI89. Mice remained on TMP-SMZ during the infection. To determine TMP-SMZ concentration in the urine, urine was collected after 3 days of TMP-SMZ treatment and quantified by LC-MS following addition of sulfisoxazole as an internal standard.

Growth Curve.

An overnight culture of PBC-1 was diluted 1:1000 in LB in the absence or presence of TMP-SMZ and/or mannoside ZFH-2056. The highest concentration of TMP-SMZ used was 512 μg/ml and 2560 μg/ml, respectively. Two-fold dilutions of TMP-SMZ were performed. Mannoside ZFH-2056 was added at 100 μM. Growth curves were performed in a 96-well plate at 37° C. with A600 readings taken every 30 min for 8 h.

Hemagglutination Assay.

PBC-1 was grown statically in LB in the absence or presence of TMP-SMZ for 2×24 h at 37° C. The highest concentration of TMP-SMZ used was 256 μg/ml and 1280 μg/ml, respectively. Two-fold dilutions of TMP-SMZ were performed. Hemagglutination assays for mannose-sensitive agglutination of guinea pig red blood cells were performed as previously described.
